Ep. 27 - 2020 so far. COVID + Jefferey Epstein + UBI

Thought I'd do something different for this episode, so it's a Joe Rogan style episode with one of my favourite guests, Nasim, back on to discuss everything that's happened this year.

Ep. 25 - Will UBI help in mitigating the climate crisis?

UBI is THE most talked about policy idea right now as a way to reform the creaky foundations of our global socio-economic systems that have plunged millions into financial vulnerability. While the pandemic will eventually end, what will pursue is the climate crisis. It will create much of the same chaos and disruptions except it will be widespread. There is a growing concern in BC, for example, that the drought in California is going to inflate food prices which imports about 70% of its produce from the US. It would be naive to say that UBI is the silver bullet to all our problems, but it does seem to be the missing link to push us forward from where we have been stagnating for decades.

Ep. 24 - Universal Basic Income in India

Most of the conversation about UBI globally happens in the context of more developed countries. How close is a country like India - eyeing to become the next superpower but still with millions in poverty - to implementing UBI. In conversation with Sarath Davala, the VP of the Basic Income Earth Network.

Ep. 23 - More UBI + Covid-19: What does it mean for young people

Young people are increasingly doing gig and contract work, which is often devoid of benefits and precarious. The job market is set to become even more precarious because of covid-19. How could an unconditional basic income help a generation of people entering an economy that is going to be more devastated than during the Great Depression? I talk to Floyd Marinescu, CEO of UBI Works.
